Nokia 3120 classic review: Mid-range fighter


Even if every little Nokia wants to be an N95 when it grows up, most of them end up a decent looking gadget with a neat little perk here and there to top the good old calling and texting. Nokia 3120 classic is just another one of them mixed by the time-tested recipe - do the bare minimum but do it right. Now, the notion of bare necessities in mobile phones is stretching as we speak, so no wonder yet another 3G-enabled junior gets thrown in the midrange skirmish.

Key features:
2" 16M-color QVGA display
2 megapixel camera with
LED flash
S40 user interface
Compact and lightweight
Quad-band GSM support
3G network support, video-call
Bluetooth and USB connectivity
Stereo
FM radio
microSD card slot, microSDHC support
Very good battery
2.5mm standard audio jack
Rich preinstalled content

Main disadvantages:
Slow camera and unimpressive image quality
Uncomfortable battery cover latch
Weak backlighting
Memory card slot under the battery cover

Nokia 3120 classic is going for a piece of the midrange action and it's getting a run for its money both inside the Nokia family and from competing manufacturers.
